Question

(-1/3) to the power of five?

Answer 1

`\bf \left( -\cfrac{1}{3} \right)^5\implies \left( -\cfrac{1}{3} \right)\left( -\cfrac{1}{3} \right)\left( -\cfrac{1}{3} \right)\left( -\cfrac{1}{3} \right)\left( -\cfrac{1}{3} \right)\implies -\cfrac{1^5}{3^5}\implies -\cfrac{1}{243}`

recall minus * minus * minus * minus * minus is minus.
